Bought this OSO hoodie for myself in black color. It is really stylish and complimentary. This will be my new favorite jacket for all types of weather. Only problem is it sheds some and I'm hoping that will stop when I wash it. Great Jacket.

This jacket is a great complement to other North Face gear - it's perfect for layering and is just perfect with regard to not being too thick or too thin. The fabric actually appears thinner since it's the cozy thermal fleece, but don't let this fool you - the soft, cozy thermal fleece is higher quality than say the regular Denali fleece, and thus can afford to be thinner without giving up any heat. It is a little short on me, but I'm well-endowed so this may not be a problem for most people. It still fits very well, has a feminine, flattering look, and it's great for casual or outdoor/hiking activities. Lowest price was on this site by far, [...]

I just got this in brownie. It is a nice soft texture. I got a small, it fits perfict with a little room to spare. I was expecting it to be a little heavier although. But a good layering piece! I cant wait to wear it out!

Get in touch with our warranty department -- jon@rockcreek.com can look into this for you. I haven't personally heard of this happening before, and we've certainly sold many Oso / Osito / Osolita jackets over the years that use the same material. Could be a fluke thing.
